Happy to share the preprint of our hierarchical #MachineLearning model for fungal ITS classification. HiTaC: Hierarchical Taxonomic Classification of Fungal ITS Sequences biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

And that's a wrap! All chapters of Bioinformatics Algorithms are now available to read online. You can also earn a certificate by completing our interactive book at Stepik or Coursera. Here's Chapter 11: "Was T. rex Just a Big Chicken?" bioinformaticsalgorithms.org/bioinformatics…

What is common between biosynthetic gene clusters and coronaviruses? The answer is not so obvious: meet coronaSPAdes, a special assembly mode aimed to reconstruct full-length coronaviridae genomes from the transcriptomic and metatranscriptomic data. 1/2
